Abstract
Each wheel (10, 14 / 20, 24) of the wheelchair (1) is fixed to a suspension arm (11,15 / 21, 25). A force transmitting device, for example a spring and damper of the wheelchair unit, directly connects two suspension arms situated on the same side of the wheeled conveyance, so that forces exerted on one of the wheels are transmitted to the other wheel. In this way, obstacles can more conveniently be overcome. A further advantage of the wheelchair is that it can be easily upscaled and driving properties can be adjusted according to a user's preferences.
Claims (16)
1. A wheelchair having a left and a right side, with at least two wheels, a motorised wheel and a castor wheel (10, 14 / 20, 24) on each of said left and right sides, wherein each of said wheels is rotatably fixed to a respective suspension arm (11, 15 / 21, 25), with each suspension arm being pivotally fixed to a base (13) at a pivot axis (12, 16 / 22, 26), wherein a force transmitting device (18 / 28) directly connects the suspension arm of the castor wheel of one side (14 / 24) with the suspension arm of the motorised wheel of the same side (10 / 20) of the wheelchair.
2. The wheelchair of claim 1, wherein the suspension arms (15, 25) of the castor wheel (14, 24) are oriented towards the front end of the wheelchair and the suspension arms (11, 21) of the motorized wheel (10, 20) towards the rear end of the wheelchair.
3. The wheelchair of claim 1, wherein the pivot axis of the suspension arm of the castor wheel and of the suspension arm of the motorized wheel are pivotally fixed to the base at equal height from a horizontal ground on which the wheelchair is placed.
4. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, wherein an angle between horizontal and the ongitudinal axis of the force transmitting device is in the range of from 0 up to 70°.
5. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, in which the force transmitting device (18, 28) is a spring, a damper, a combined spring and damper unit, or a rigid bar.
6. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claim s, in which the pivot axis (16 / 26) of the suspension arm (15 / 25) of the castor wheel (14 / 24) is horizontally offset with respect of the pivot axis (12 / 22) of the suspension arm (11 / 21) of the motorised wheel (10 / 20) of the same side.
7. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, in which the pivot axis (12, 16 / 22, 26) of the two suspension arms (11, 15 / 21, 25) on one side of the wheelchair are situated next to each other, both in between the castor and motorised wheels.
8. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, in which the pivot axis of the suspension arms (12, 16 / 22, 26) are situated at the same height or lower than the axis of the castor and/or motorised wheel (14, 10 / 24, 20), with respect to the ground.
9. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, in which the suspension arms of the castor and motorised wheels (15, 11 / 25, 21) on one side of the wheelchair are mechanically connected with each other so that upon upward pivoting of the suspension arm (15 / 25) of the castor wheel (14 / 24) a downward force is exerted by the suspension arm (11 / 21) of the motorised wheel (10 / 20).
10. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, in which the force transmitting device (18 / 28) is attached so that upon pivoting of the suspension arm of the castor wheel, forces are directly and horizontally transmitted to the suspension arm of the motorised wheel.
11. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, comprising a spring and/or damper (19 / 29) fixed with one end to the rear part (32) of the base (13) and with its other end to the rear part of the suspension arm (11 / 21) of the motorised wheel, whereby the spring and/or damper (19 / 29) is arranged so as to vertically transmit and/or absorb forces.
12. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the suspension arms (15, 25 / 11, 21) of the castor and/or motorised wheels comprise a curved arm (39, 47) extending partly along a substantially parallel circle of the respective wheel (10, 14 / 20, 24) from the respective pivot axis (12, 16 / 22, 26) of the suspension arm to the top of the respective wheel.
13. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the base (13) comprises a substantially horizontal loading area for batteries (8), the loading area being situated at a height with respect to the ground, which is equal or lower to the height of the axis (50, 40) of the castor and/or motorised wheel.
14. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, arranged to be up-and/or downscalable.
15. The wheelchair of any one of the preceding claims, wherein the size and driving characteristics can be adjusted according to the user's preferences.
16. A method for adjusting the size and driving characteristics of a wheelchair comprising the steps of:
- providing the wheelchair according to any of claims 1 to 15;
- selecting parts of the wheelchair according to the desired size and driving characteristics, the parts being selected from (a) suspension arms and wheels (b) the force transmitting device, (c) other parts of the wheelchair, and (d) combinations of any of the former; and - constituting a wheelchair with the selected parts, thus adjusting the size and driving characteristics of the wheelchair.
- providing the wheelchair according to any of claims 1 to 15;
- selecting parts of the wheelchair according to the desired size and driving characteristics, the parts being selected from (a) suspension arms and wheels (b) the force transmitting device, (c) other parts of the wheelchair, and (d) combinations of any of the former; and - constituting a wheelchair with the selected parts, thus adjusting the size and driving characteristics of the wheelchair.
